Man Utd defender Maguire deletes social media post

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire had a message for fans after the goalless draw at AZ Alkmaar on Thursday - but he soon deleted it.

Maguire failed to get off the bench in the Netherlands as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went with a central defensive partnership of Victor Lindelof and Marcos Rojo.

That pair, as well as first-choice goalkeeper David De Gea, all did their jobs as the Eredivisie outfit were snuffed out despite having 12 shots on goal and four on target.

The England defender tweeted: "A point away from home. Thanks for the support. See you Sunday."

However, following a backlash from supporters at what they saw as an overly positive reaction to a disappointing result, Maguire ultimately deleted the post, which isn't visible on his Twitter account on Friday morning.
